Shorter Evan Bayh: “The Dems need to ‘reconnect with the center’ by ignoring any progressive legislation and focusing on deficit reduction. The way to focus on deficit reduction is through upper-class tax cuts. I mean, remember how that strategy preserved the surplus under Bush? If we do that, we’ll have the same success the Blue Dogs had last night!”

I guess Bayh’s idea for staying in the public eye is to try to be a bigger wanker than Joe Lieberman. This is certainly a good start!

We got rid of a bunch of sorry-assed Blue Dogs yesterday, in what was purported for many months to be a sort of Blue Apocalypse. Well, the Teapublicans took the House (no surprise there) and couldn’t take the Senate, so the massive GOP “takeback” of “their” country didn’t happen yet. And we lost many feckless, useless Blue Dogs like Mr. Bayh here, who can’t wait to begin cashing in those lobbying checks with glee.

Yeah, that pretty much nails it. If history is any guide at all, most of the concern over the deficit ended at about midnight Eastern time. Now, the only remaining deficit concerns are how how much can we slash social programs like Head Start, food stamps and Pell Grants, and how can we convince the country that the retirement age really, really, really needs to be raised to 72.

Deficit Reduction top priority: eliminate tobacco subsidies. The ones that Boehner saved from the axe by handing out lobbyists’ checks to Republican representatives, asking “Are you going to be our FRIEND on this vote?”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAC2xeT2yOg
